General Information

Discover summer at Sarah Lawrence College and our distinctive, intensive programs of study. Whatever your interests, Sarah Lawrence will help you enhance your academic experience and explore your passions. Our small class sizes will give you an exceptional opportunity to learn in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Students in every class will have two individual conferences with their instructor, a distinguishing component of the unique Sarah Lawrence education.

We offer a five-week course in filmmaking and three-week courses in musical theatre, creative writing, and a three-week program on the literature and history, theatre, and architecture of New York City. Students must be entering the 10^th, 11^th or 12^th grades in the fall of 2011.

Full-Day Courses

The five-week filmmaking intensive classes are held during the day Monday through Saturday with some evening classes. For the three-week day courses, classes are held during the day Monday through Friday only. Students in the full-day courses are eligible to live on campus.

Room and Board

Each student will be assigned to a single bedroom and each building also has a common living area. The meal plan includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Participants on the meal plan will have access to Bates Dining Hall for all-you-can-eat buffet featuring a wide variety of options including organic fruits and vegetables, sandwiches to salads, soups, entrees, vegan and vegetarian options as well as a full range of beverages.

Finally, residential students will enjoy evening and weekend programs and trips coordinated and run by a staff of Residential Counselors living in the dorms with the students on campus as well. Evening programs will include community building activities, film viewings, karaoke nights and other social events. Weekend trips into the City as well as the surrounding area will include visits to museums; parks; concerts and performances.
